Happy Birthday Star Wars (today!) - Page 4

Our movie theatre only had one screen, they've now walled off the balcony and made it two. It took a good year I think for it to make it to our town.

It was the first movie I drove to on my own. Took a bunch of friends in my car, right after I got my license --- so it must have been June of '77. We had to wait 3 hours to get into the theater, which featured the biggest screen I'd ever seen ... and, unbeknownst to me at the time, one of only 8 true 70mm Dolby Stereo prints of Star Wars being shown that first summer anywhere in the U.S.

I realized the movie had gotten under my skin when, on the way home, 16-year-old new driver that I was almost flipped the car on a clover-leaf freeway interchange while pretending to be an X-Wing pilot dive-bombing the Death Star.

Ooooops.

I want to see a picture of a 16 year-old iSm.

Enjoy!

The second one is great - a little slow in the middle but worth watching to the end.

Yeah, I never saw any spoofs of Episode 3 before. That movie kinda killed my interest in Star Wars ... which I'm going to try and revive next week for some 30th-anniversary nostalgia.

So that "A Lost Hope" film was new to me, and really, really funny.

Couldn't watch the Donny & Marie thing on YouTube, though. The sound synch was so off, I couldn't stand it.

We met those guys when we were working a show in NY last year. They were so obnoxious they made me, for the first and only time in my life, embarrassed to be a fan.

Sorry for the double-post, but I'd like to thank MousePod for the DVDs that arrived today! I'm so busy with CIV prep that I can't watch them until next week, but I can't wait!!! Thanks! (Actually, I'll pack them and hope I can watch on my laptop in the weeeeeeee hours of CIV).

MTFBWY brotha!
